Your friendship with Severus wasn't the best, he'd always rant about Lily and how much he regretted calling her a mudblood. It irritated you that all he talked about was Lily. Lily this, Lily that. When was it not about Lily?

You got into an argument with him about many things but when you brought up Lily was when he snapped. He said many hurtful things to you before he ended the friendship, stating that he only really was your friend because he needed someone when Lily wasn't around.

A few weeks passed and the absence of Severus really did a number on you. He was the closest friend you've ever had but after he had told you the things nobody deserves to hear, your perspective on him changed.

But you wanted to go back to being his friend. How could he just look at you with such disdain? Like you were just a stranger to him to begin with.

It was as if he forgot all those moments you shared with him. The hand holding, the way he whispered sweet nothings after a heated night. The way he held you after anytime you got hurt.

But now he's hurt you. And nobody was there to hold you.
